I have a 3200+ athlon 64 Clawhammer core(2 GHz 1 MB of cache CG stepping)

I just wanted a lil more speed so I upped the FSB to 220 which raised my core speed to 2.2 GHz(or the speed of a 3400+ Clawhammer).

I have ran F@H for two days now, temps are in the upper 40's at full load. Can I assume this is pretty stable?

My hypertransport is at 4x, as I assume 220 was not high enough to even both messing around with lowering that. Does all this seem good?

what board? what voltage? what ram? what voltage on ram?

is everything else on auto? i.e. timings, votlage, etc...

I have a MSI K8n Neo Platinum, Voltage on ram is on default, I have "Aggresive timings enabled(I think that just makes it a 2T timing instead of my default 2.5). I did not raise the voltage at all to do this.

I just used CPU-Z and I noticed that it is not running a divider for the ram...I don't think its capable of that...correct me if I am wrong. I have pretty generic PC-2700 ram...should I not do this will this ram?

here is the CPU-Z Screen shots

If the settings work without windows bluescreens or random reboots, then you won't harm the ram. Look for stability in your setup, and adjust the ram voltage if you have any problems. Most good ram will run between 2.5-2.8 volts. On my msi, I use 2.6 (the default setting).

Question, how come windows doesnt read it as a 3400+. I have the clock speed and the core of the clawhammer 3400+...doesn't it usually read the performance rating based on these?
